Description
M/A-COM’s MA4ST400 series are ion-implanted,
hyperabrupt junction, silicon tuning varactors in
the SOT-23 surface mount package. These ther-
mal oxide passivated diodes feature high capaci-
tance ratio and quality factor. They are well suited
for octavebandwidth tuning in the HF to UHF fre-
quency bands. The standard capacitance toler-
ance is ± 10%, with tighter tolerances available.
Capacitance matching at one or more bias volt-
ages is also available.These diodes are offered
with standard Sn/Pb plating, as well as with 100%
matte Sn plating on our RoHS compliant devices.
1. Operation of this device above any one of these parameters
may cause permanent damage.
2. Please refer to application note M538 for surface mounting
instructions

Applications
The MA4ST400 series tuning varactors are useful
for octave bandwidth tuning applications in the HF
through UHF ranges. Applications include VCOs
and voltage tuned filters in radios, cable TV tun-
ers and test instruments where low cost and ex-
cellent lot-to-lot repeatability are critical. Linear
tuning performance is available from 3 to 8 volts.

Mounting Information
The illustration indicates the recommended
mounting
pad
configuration
for
the
SOT-23 and SOD-323 packages. Solder paste
containing flux should be screened onto the pads to
a thickness of 0.005- 0.007 inches. The plastic
package is placed in position, firmly adhering to the
solder paste.
Permanent attachment is performed by a reflow
soldering procedure during which the tab
temperature does not exceed +275
°C
and the body
temperature does not exceed +250
°C,
for standard
models and +260
°C
for the RoHS compliant
devices.
Please refer to Application Note M538 for surface
mounting instructions.
